Eric Gao Receives 2025 Entrepreneurship Honour at the Chinese Australian Achievers Awards

Melbourne, Australia — November 2025

 

Boman Group is pleased to share that our Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Eric Gao, has been recognised with the Entrepreneurship Award at the 2025 Chinese Australian Achievers Awards, held at Sofitel on Collins by the Museum of Chinese Australian History. The annual event is a key occasion celebrating the contributions of Chinese Australians across business, culture and community life.

 

This recognition highlights Eric’s leadership and his long-standing efforts to strengthen investment connections between Australia and Asia, as well as his support for industries shaping the future economy.

 

Strategic, Forward-Looking Investment

 

Since founding Boman Group 14 years ago, Eric has championed a simple but important principle: investment should deliver solid performance while supporting industries that create long-term value. His focus spans sectors such as AI, energy transition, robotics and the digital economy—areas expected to drive major shifts in how societies and markets evolve.

Under Eric’s leadership, Boman Group has grown into a multi-regional financial services organisation with more than AUD 910 million in cumulative assets under management. Today, we operate across Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong and Tianjin, supported by a regulatory framework that enables strong cross-border collaboration.

 

Commitment to Community and Future Talent

 

Eric’s own experience as an international student in Australia has shaped his commitment to community and education. Through Boman Group, he has supported financial literacy programs for Chinese-speaking communities, expanded educational content through the ALLFIN® platform and established scholarship initiatives—such as those at Monash University—to help students and emerging entrepreneurs access new opportunities.

His belief is simple: a strong industry depends on the growth of both people and culture.

 

Recognition of Impact and Responsibility

 

This year’s awards brought together leaders from government, business and academia to acknowledge Chinese Australians making a positive impact in their fields. Eric’s award reflects not only his individual contribution but also Boman Group’s ongoing commitment to responsible investment and community engagement.

 

“We’re pleased to see Eric’s work recognised at a national level,” the company said. “His leadership continues to strengthen ties between Australia and Asia and reflects the values that guide our work at Boman Group.”

 

As we look ahead, we will continue to invest in sectors with long-term relevance, deepen partnerships across the region and focus on creating sustainable value for our clients and communities.
